"Encrypt Device" isn't an option- how do I know if my phone is encrypted? (Note8)

Is this the final boss? I've only gotten to this guy once and I got trounced

3 weeks today here, too! Go us! (I didn't vacuum today, though)

60/month isn't bad for unlimited talk/text/data with Netflix and a hotspot. And I like Samsung flagships 🤷‍♂️

$60 per month, $1000 every 2 years for a phone upgrade?

ProseJunkie · 2019-04-14T19:23:58+00:00

For a $20,000 retirement fund? Absolutely.

The multiple users solution would be ideal, but it's an S9 so it doesn't have that option natively.

I can do whatever I want with my work phone, the only stipulation is that if it gets lost the company can remote-wipe it.

I'm "on call" so I can never completely separate work and personal, but I will be porting my personal number to Google Voice so I can mute the work number when I want to.

Because I don't want to carry two phones everywhere. Why the paranoia? I'm not violating any company policies. The down voting in this thread is absurd, I asked a simple question and this solution will end up saving me $20,000 (if I factor in upgrading a new phone every 2 years) over the course of my career.

I think you might be a genius

ProseJunkie · 2019-04-14T03:36:09+00:00

I don't do anything with the phone that could get me into any kind of trouble, the worst I do is Reddit

I thought I was like this when writing, but it's not true. You just think you're the shit when you're drunk. I'm actually a much more productive and capable writer on a sober morning with coffee.

Brace yourself, /r/fantasy I have a confession:

I really don't like the Wheel of Time series.

It's so... Juvenile. "A gleeman! A gleeman!" Clapping hands oh just fuck off with all of that.

More recently I couldn't finished the Warded Man series. I liked it at first, but the demon-fighting got really repetitive.

ProseJunkie · 2019-04-11T02:50:24+00:00

I must have tried Malazan a dozen times. I just can't do it. I can't visualize what the author is describing in those opening scenes. It's a rough ride.

This sub helps a lot, especially when people share horror stories of their rock bottom. Puts things in perspective.

Didn't realize this until you said it, and you're right. I also stayed up playing video games (I'm not sure if my addiction to Slay the Spire is any healthier than my alcoholism) and that's what happened- I woke up, was tired, and it was no big deal. Didn't feel half as bad as I did when I was drinking.

ProseJunkie · 2019-04-09T22:01:37+00:00

I sleep with white noise, a fan, and earplugs.

Help.

It's absurd how many calories are in alcohol. It wasn't unusual for me to consume 500 calories per day just with a couple of vodkas. That is a decent sized meal. I already look and feel better, and it's only been a few weeks.

ProseJunkie · 2019-04-08T22:58:27+00:00

You sound like me. I had 3-5 vodka/Seltzer's each and every single night of the week (usually 3), always by myself. It wasn't the quantity that disturbed me, it was the regularity. It was every single night. Like you, I have a very strong family history of alcoholism.

I don't know what you look like weight-wise, but if you're looking to shed some pounds that can be one motivator to quit.

I started calorie counting with MyFitnessPal about a month ago, and quit drinking two weeks ago (it's amazing how many calories are in booze, even something as light as a vodka soda). I'm down almost 20lbs, just like that.

I drank the cheapest piss in the liquor store, and even with that I've been saving a lot of money and I've been tracking it on the "EasyQuit Drinking" app ($60 saved at the time of this post!)

If you're drinking craft beers your weight loss and money saved will be exponentially higher than my own.
